Great stay here! Staff attentive at the pub (Aviator) next to hotel. Irish bloke was brilliant and made us all laugh several times whilst having breakfast and put us at ease. Friendliest person ever. Easy to park, good value for money. Big Tesco/ M&S/Lidl/ McDonald’s etc retail park nearby could walk to and great location.

This is the third time my husband and myself have stayed at this hotel. Although it’s now changed name, but still a great place to stay. Would recommend to others to stay there.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Good filling classic breakfast with help yourself tea/coffee/toast/jam. There are food outlets/shops (in surrounding retail area, McDonald’s (5 min walk), m & s, Costa, KFC, and Tesco) if you decide to get takeaway and bring back to your room. Note: room only serviced every 3rd day of your stay, unless you request otherwise.. Slept well in comfortable bed, slight noise from people in corridor or from car park (where our room faced), but acceptable. Area well lit up between accommodation building and restaurant/bar building. No phones in room, use your own if needing to get through to reception or online to book meal/bfast in restaurant. It wasn’t very busy breakfast time during our stay and got quick friendly service. We stayed two nights and would stay again.
